The Bare-Faced Method
One of the simplest ways to identify your skin type is by observing your bare skin. Begin by washing your face with a mild cleanser that’s suitable for all skin types. After rinsing, gently pat your face dry with a clean towel and avoid applying any skincare products. Wait about 30 minutes, then take note of both the appearance and feel of your skin. If it feels tight, dry, or uncomfortable, you likely have dry skin. Noticeable shine usually indicates oily skin, while a mix of both oily and dry areas suggests combination skin. If your skin feels irritated, it may be sensitive, and if none of these issues appear, you probably have normal skin.
